Association of matrix metalloproteinase -7 (-181A/G) promoter polymorphism in chronic pancreatitis

Background & objectives: Chronic pancreatitis is progressive and irreversible destruction of the pancreas. Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) is a secreted matrilysin, which contributes to angiogenesis and breakdown of basement membranes of pancreatic tissues. The present study was aimed to inve...
